Hello all,

I have been searching through threads about what is the best brand to get and so far I have seen good things about the Kinetix brand. My question is before I purchased my car an alignment was performed and I was told the rear camber was just barely in spec, but moved on the line of "green". I don't know hard numbers, but this week I replaced my tires the fronts were wearing fairly even the rears had the dreaded inside wear. I do alignments all the time and I know after tweaking the rear it can throw the front way off. I'm hoping to just get by with the rear camber kit and wanted to know if many people were only needing the rear camber kit or if they were finding out they needed toe kits too?

Last week I was machining my front rotors due to brake judder and found my tire like this:



The PO stretched the front tires on the rim which I hate so I put a wider tire on it. My theory is I ran over a pothole and it rolled the tire which pinched the rubber causing it to rip but not puncture the tire.

Get the SPC arms and toe bolts just to be sure everything including toe gets back into spec. Toe is what eats up tires.

Supposedly the toe is fine and the only thing that was out was the camber so I figured camber would have caused this I know toe will eat a tire faster than camber will. lol I'll be sure to get it all into spec. I know lowering/bigger rims throws the angle lines way off I just want everything to be even as far as still having good cornering performance with tire wire.

I only needed to add rear camber arms to bring my lowered car into spec ( -2.0) The TOE could be brought in spec with stock toe bolts . I'm lowered about 1 1/2 in rear.
Tire damage was prolly from stretched tires.

Get spc camber kit with toe bolts and make sure you elongate the toe bolt holes so you can actually get the adjustment you need.

It was the tire strecthing and you hit something or you have some negatice camber but you need to just get the SPL bolts or the SPC bolts and it will bring everything back into line, just like everyone else said.

Thanks for the advise ill be getting me some new parts and modifying my z woop woop!

Camber did not do that to your tire.

parrotheadmatt

the tire I posted is my front tire it was wearing fine the hole was made from a pothole

Ouch that was a hell of a pothole ^

None of that has anything to do with camber. I've got -7 and I have friends running -12 and don't go thru tires. OBVIOUSLY the wear is uneven, but then you just switch the sides. Badabing badaboom. TOE eats up tires. If anybody says that's camber, punch'em in the knutz immediately and walk off while drinking a chocolate milkshake.

To answer your question, SPC makes a rear camber kit for cheap. Do it up.

lol I agree with you sir the spc kit will be here tomorrow hopefully I'll have time after work Friday to install it.
